You mean the fake Joe put in office I frankly don't care, it's actually a larger problem than the chairwarmer-in-care it's something that is going to increase all the while we're being told that it's getting better.

(OP) User ID: 84794460 09/18/2023 07:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay then, here's another data point to consider. On my way out of the store I went by a couple that was obviously having car trouble. I went and put my groceries in the car and walked back to see if I could. You know, because I can't be an ass all the time. Turned out that the battery was dead. The husband told me the car was probably original to the car and it was a 2020. In the back of my mind I recalled stories on GLP that batteries were only lasting 2-3 years. Well, I jumpstarted the car and went on my merry way. On my way home (a 15 mile drive) I saw four other breakdowns on the side of the road, all of whom had help or abandoned their vehicle to seek help. We haven't even got anywhere near the cool temperatures to test our charging systems. "Yes, yes. Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life.

(OP) User ID: 84794460 09/18/2023 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I mentioned the vehicle breakdowns for two reasons. One, last time I saw that many at one time was during the pandemic. Presumably people were putting off repairs because of economic pressures. Two, I have to wonder if there have been so many shortcuts taken in the production of what is in the supply chain that we're going to see more and more breakdowns? "Yes, yes.

We haven't even got anywhere near the cool temperatures to test our charging systems. All this cellular and wifi and HDTV RF emissions are doing something to batteries. I had boxes of AA and AAA batteries all go bad in 6 months. The only thing which could have affected these batteries had to be something unseen, like RF. So, I started storing them in RF shield boxes and that took care of the problem after ordering more batteries. I also keep them in the basement below ground now too. |

Also, I've been concerned about batteries in general. I use a lot of 18650 batteries, in solar charged motion lights, ecigs, flashlights, more. This year I needed to replace many of these batteries and I'm finding it impossible now to find and buy legitimate capacity rated 18650 batteries. Ordered 16 batteries from 3 different sellers and only 4 from one seller tested true to their labeled and advertised rating. The others were half or less than the labeled capacity (i.e. 3200 mAh tested to be around 1600 mAh batteries). Amazon is filled with misrepresented, overrated, fake, and counterfeit crap from China now. Thankfully I got full refunds. |
